Some people are fine on 150g carbs a day.  Others need to go down to under 20g.  It all depends on our personal physical make up.Although worth bearing in mind that different foods have different effects on each of us.  Some ppl tolerate potato but not wheat products. While some can eat sweet potato but not potato... and so on.worth doing some testing to find out. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Another thing to remember is that we all have to make this sustainable.  For life.  Absolutely no point creating some strict boring regime that sends you off the rails 6 weeks down the line.  Make it interesting, enjoyable.  Foods you consider luxurious (scrambled egg and smoked salmon? Steak and Stilton?  Low carb 'Fathead' pizza?  Learn which takeaway dishes are low carb).Don't think of it as a diet.  Think of it as a lifestyle choice of better, more nutritious, more enjoyable food options. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
